    what was it someone said?

    no matter when you upgrade, there will always be better parts out on the market by the time you get it built.

      you can never set a date when you want to upgrade, either do it now or wait forever.

                wait for Dual Cores to go down and [it is my opinion] that you should wait for DX10 cards now. your rig currrently aint that great, but it definitly can still play. if you are willing to wait I would wait, maybe like 4 months. it will be worth it. of course, if you bought stuff now,it would be an extra like 400$ when the time comes for new technology (DX10 etc). w/e is worth it to you.

                  I don't hink the next gen of vid cards is gnna come out for a while (at least not till winter), it would be worth waiting a month or so for cheaper CPUs, AMD announced they are lowering the prices of their S939 and AM2 CPUs sometime in mid-late july, so wait till then.
